The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that Canada
could soon face a renewed foreign assault on its domestic
financial services market as the United States moves to
eliminate the last vestiges of strict 1930s-era banking rules
there. Reporter Barry McKenna says that under NAFTA, a review
of access to commercial banking continent-wide is
automatically triggered when the US allows foreign banks to
expand their branch networks in the US market. Last week, US
treasury secretary Robert Rubin unveiled a sweeping overhaul
of US banking laws that could clear the way for head-to-head
competition between banks, insurers and securities dealers.
The changes require Congressional approval. The proposed
amendments to the US Glass-Steagall legislation come just
days before another US law goes into force, eliminating most
interstate banking curbs and allowing nation-wide banking for
the first time. Mr Rubin's reforms are welcomed by Canadian
banks, who want to enter the US.
